Hello everyone I am very new to the quilting and I am wanting to make a baby quilt for a 2 month old baby girl I am watching for Christmas. I have seen several different patterns but was curious as to what everyone else makes. All I have done so far is quilt with squares which is fine but I am not sure on what size squares to use for a baby quilt or anything so if anyone has any helpful advice I would appreciate it.

nana, when you click on the picture the sashings and the squares are the same size.

laurie, if you make 2 inch finished squares your quilt will be 34 inches wide before borders. at 2 1/2 inch finished, your quilt will be about 42 inches wide. if you have 3 inch finished squares, it will be 51 inches wide. you need to decide how big you want your quilt to be and how long. it would look good as a square, too. cute pattern. it would look good with smaller sashings, too, but you'ld need to account for a smaller size with the smaller sashes. gini

My first baby quilt was made with a rail fence-- 3 different fabric strips 2-1/2 in wide sewn together then cut into rectangle. They surrounded the center motif panel and was a smash. Plus it was EASY!!!!
